Question:
Can the programs mentioned so far invert the time scale (without too many tricks) on the Y axis (or any other)?
Thanks and Cheers,
Niko

Phil,

I use R for all my graphs (and most of my statistical analyses as well). R
is essentially a programming language that has statistics functions built
into it, so you don't need to write code to calculate a standard deviation
or other commonly used functions. It has many built-in graph types, and you
can create new graph types from scratch. It also gives you control over
every element of a graph, such as the axes, plot symbols, shading, colors,
angle of lighting for 3D graphs, etc.
Pros: It's extremely powerful and flexible, runs on most platforms, and is
free (see http://www.r-project.org). It's the software most academic
statisticians use, so there is a large user community that contributes code
and packages.
Cons: Somewhat steep learning curve, online help isn't always useful
Good luck,
Steve
